IM PROVEMENT IN STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 195,61 1, dated September 25, 1877; application filed July 23, 1877.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MOSES- J ONES, of Hymer, in the county of Chase and State of Kansas, have invented a new and Improved Stove, of which the following is a specification Figure 1 is an elevation, in section, on line yyin Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on line :19 w in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on line 2 z in Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The invention will first be described in connection with the drawing, and then pointed out in the claim.

In the drawing, A is the outer shell, and B the fire-box or inner shell of the stove, both of which are fitted to ribs that project upward from the stove bottom 0. The fire-box or inner shell is made of cast-iron, and is provided with a top, D, that extends to the outer shell. The outer shell A is of sheet-iron, and is higher than the firebox, and to it a cast-iron top, E, is secured. Between the top E and the top D of the fire-box there is a flue, F, and below the top D, and around the sides of the firebox, there is a flue, G. Slits a are made in the back of the fire-box, through which the products of combustion pass from the fire-box to the flue G.

A doorway, H, is formed at the front of the stove, which is shut ofl from the flue G by a flange tormed on the shell B that extends to the outer shell A. Above the doorway there is an aperture, 1), through which the smoke passes to the flue F. There is also an aperture, 0, in the top D, at the rear of the fire-box, that is covered by a damper, d, having attached to it a rod, 0, that extends through the front of the stove, and is provided with a handle.

The usual aperture for the escape of smoke is provided and surrounded by a collar, f, for receiving the stove-pipe. The stove is provided with the usual hearth and damper, and is supported upon legs in the ordinary way.

By opening the damper d the smoke is permitted to escape directly to the chimney; and when it is closed the products of combustion pass through the slits a and flue G to the front of the stove, where they pass upward through the openings b to the flue F, and thence to the smoke-pipe.

This arrangement not only utilizes the greatest possible amount of the heat,but it also prevents the stove-pipe from becoming dangerously heated.

The sides of the fire-box are strengthened by means of ribs, so that they are not liable to warp or twist.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A stove consisting of an outer shell, A, top, bottom, and division plates E O D, and inner shell B, forming intermediate fiues FG, the shell A having outlet f, and the fire-box B being slitted at at, having apertures b c, and provided with handled damper d e, as shown and described.
